Chaplain's Tid Bit
Being a Good Person
Hello there, my beautiful people,
Welcome to May, Motorcycle Awareness Month. We've had some wonderful days and it's so nice to be back on serenity and see the motorcycle community out and enjoying the Washington scenery. Everywhere we look there's something God created to be thankful for.
When I talk to people about giving their life over to Jesus and if they're a Christian often the responses well I'm a good person and I don't lie cheat or steal I'm good to people and I'm just an in general good person. And I love that, being a good person is great and I love you all dearly. BUT... being a good person does not ensure your spot in heaven. Is the story in the Bible in Matthew 19:16 through 26 where there's a young ruler who asked God a question " what good deed must I do to have eternal life?" In this question to me in the background I understand that he acknowledges that despite his efforts to be a good person he is still lacking in his life.
No one is good, and no one does good except God. You cannot earn your way into heaven. This concept is an inflated opinion of One's Own abilities. If we could have been good enough, we would not have needed Jesus to come take our sin and the entire curse of the law on the cross and die for us. Salvation is of God. Jesus says," with man this is impossible, but With God all things are possible."
Romans 3:23 says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 says the wages of our sin is death. Fortunately, God did not wait until we were good; while we were in our sinful state, Jesus died for the unrighteous. Romans 5:8.
Salvation is not based on our goodness but on Jesus is goodness if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God has risen him from the dead, we will be saved. Romans 10:9. This gift is unearned. Ephesians 2:8-9.
The message of the Gospel is that we can never be good enough to get to heaven. We must call upon the name of the Lord and we shall be saved. Romans 10:13 acts 21:21 Psalm 145 18 and 19 I'll show us that that is the only way to heaven.
If you're a Christian and you have any knowledge of the Bible, you know that the end times are here and we're living in them right now the world is upside down and it is time to get on board repeat these words Jesus please save me now and have eternal life with Jesus. People don't like to talk about it and a lot of pastors don't even like to talk about it but I'll tell you what this pastor must talk about the fact that there is a hell. If you choose not to give your life to Jesus you will go to hell and it's for all of time there is no end, it's forever.
You know as I sat preparing this chaplain's report the Lord was showing me what He was going to have me to say and talk about and I told Him I've already done this message, and I've already talked about that. His response to me was: if I had you tell them a hundred times what would you do? My response to Jesus will always be, I will do what you tell me. If you want this message to be told a hundred times, I'll tell it a hundred times because you want everyone to come to heaven. And because I listen to you and follow you always. Because I love my father God, and I love Jesus.
Jesus loves you and so do I!

JH.R. 1566 - The REPAIR Act Right To Equitable And Professional Auto Industry Repair
Should you have the choice of where to bring your motorcycle for repairs or to do the work yourself? Should you have access to the parts, tools and service information required to maintain, service and modify your bike? Do you want to control who may access the data from your motorcycle and its use? If you answered yes to these questions, it is time to contact your member of the House of Representatives and ask them to cosponsor H.R. 1566, the "Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair Act", known as the "REPAIR Act." The REPAIR Act ensures that vehicle owners or repair shops can access the information, software or tools needed to work on vehicles. This proposed commonsense law establishes rules regarding vehicle data access and will help preserve consumer choice and a fair marketplace. A similar bill was introduced during the last session of Congress and cosponsored by 56 Representatives.We need to surpass that number during this session. Help us today!

Motorcycle Safety & Education
Lewis County A.B.A.T.E
Motorcycle Safety and Education Program
It is a pleasure to help new drivers to be aware of motorcycles on our roadways. I have been teaching Motorcycle Safety and Awareness in Lewis, Thurston, and Mason Counties for the past 3 years. I found it to be very rewarding and a great benefit to our community to spread the word of Motorcycle safety. In my opinion, Motorcycle safety cannot be taught enough in our high schools and driving schools and to all drivers, no matter what kind of vehicle or motorcycle they drive. I hope to keep teaching new drivers whenever and wherever I can. “REMEMBER” always look before you act. It may Save A Life of a Brother, Sister or maybe one of your own family. HEY, were out there!! This message came from a motorcycle rider near you!
Thank you,
